THE LAW
Equal Employment Opportunity is
Private Employers, State and Local Governments, Educational Institutions, Employment Agencies and Labor Organizations
�
Applicants to and employees of most private employers, state and local governments, educational institutions, employment agencies and labor organizations are protected under Federal law from discrimination on the following bases:
�
RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, protects applicants and
employees from discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits,
job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment, on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy), or national origin. Religious
discrimination includes failing to reasonably accommodate an employee’s religious
practices where the accommodation does not impose undue hardship.
DISABILITY
Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, protect
qualified individuals from discrimination on the basis of disability in hiring, promotion,
discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other
aspects of employment. Disability discrimination includes not making reasonable
accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified
individual with a disability who is an applicant or employee, barring undue hardship.
AGE
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, protects
applicants and employees 40 years of age or older from discrimination based on
age in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification,
referral, and other aspects of employment.
SEX (WAGES)
In addition to sex discrimination prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as
amended, the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended, prohibits sex discrimination in
the payment of wages to women and men performing substantially equal work,
in jobs that require equal skill, effort, and responsibility, under similar working
conditions, in the same establishment.
GENETICS
Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 protects applicants
and employees from discrimination based on genetic information in hiring,
promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and
other aspects of employment. GINA also restricts employers’ acquisition of genetic
information and strictly limits disclosure of genetic information. Genetic information
includes information about genetic tests of applicants, employees, or their family
members; the manifestation of diseases or disorders in family members (family
medical history); and requests for or receipt of genetic services by applicants,
employees, or their family members.
RETALIATION
All of these Federal laws prohibit covered entities from retaliating against a
person who files a charge of discrimination, participates in a discrimination
proceeding, or other wise opposes an unlawful employment practice.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU BELIEVE DISCRIMINATION HAS OCCURRED
There are strict time limits for filing charges of employment discrimination. To
preserve the ability of EEOC to act on your behalf and to protect your right to file a
private lawsuit, should you ultimately need to, you should contact EEOC promptly
when discrimination is suspected:
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), 1-800-669-4000
(toll-free) or 1-800-669-6820 (toll-free TTY number for individuals with hearing
impairments). EEOC field office information is available at www.eeoc.gov or
in most telephone directories in the U.S. Government or Federal Government
section. Additional information about EEOC, including information about charge
filing, is available at www.eeoc.gov.
Employers Holding Federal Contracts or Subcontracts
Applicants to and employees of companies with a Federal government contract or subcontract
are protected under Federal law from discrimination on the following bases:
RACE, COLOR, RELIGION, SEX, NATIONAL ORIGIN
Executive Order 11246, as amended, prohibits job discrimination on the basis
of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and requires affirmative action to
ensure equality of opportunity in all aspects of employment.
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, protects qualified
individuals from discrimination on the basis of disability in hiring, promotion,
discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and
other aspects of employment. Disability discrimination includes not making
reasonable accommodation to the known physical or mental limitations of an
otherwise qualified individual with a disability who is an applicant or employee,
barring undue hardship. Section 503 also requires that Federal contractors take
affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified individuals
with disabilities at all levels of employment, including the executive level.
DISABLED, RECENTLY SEPARATED, OTHER PROTECTED,
AND ARMED FORCES SERVICE MEDAL VETERANS
The Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38
U.S.C. 4212, prohibits job discrimination and requires affirmative action to employ
and advance in employment disabled veterans, recently separated veterans (within
three years of discharge or release from active duty), other protected veterans
(veterans who served during a war or in a campaign or expedition for which a
campaign badge has been authorized), and Armed Forces service medal veterans
(veterans who, while on active duty, participated in a U.S. military operation for
which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded).
RETALIATION
Retaliation is prohibited against a person who files a complaint of discrimination,
participates in an OFCCP proceeding, or otherwise opposes discrimination
under these Federal laws.
Any person who believes a contractor has violated its nondiscrimination or
affirmative action obligations under the authorities above should contact
immediately:
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), U.S.
Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C.
20210, 1-800-397-6251 (toll-free) or (202) 693-1337 (TTY). OFCCP may also be
contacted by e-mail at [email protected], or by calling an OFCCP regional
or district office, listed in most telephone directories under U.S. Government,
Department of Labor.
Programs or Activities Receiving Federal Financial Assistance
RACE, COLOR, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEX
In addition to the protections of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as
amended, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, prohibits
discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin in programs or
activities receiving Federal financial assistance. Employment discrimination
is covered by Title VI if the primary objective of the financial assistance is
provision of employment, or where employment discrimination causes or may
cause discrimination in providing services under such programs. Title IX of the
Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits employment discrimination on the
basis of sex in educational programs or activities which receive Federal financial
assistance.
EEOC 9/02 and OFCCP 8/08 Versions Useable With 11/09 Supplement
INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, prohibits employment
discrimination on the basis of disability in any program or activity which receives
Federal financial assistance. Discrimination is prohibited in all aspects of
employment against persons with disabilities who, with or without reasonable
accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job.
If you believe you have been discriminated against in a program of any
institution which receives Federal financial assistance, you should immediately
contact the Federal agency providing such assistance.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Veteran Status
This employer is a Government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act
of 1974, as amended by the Jobs for Veterans Act of 2002, 38 U.S.C. 4212 (VEVRAA), which requires
Government contractors to take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment: (1) disabled
veterans; (2) recently separated veterans; (3) active duty wartime or campaign badge veterans; and (4) Armed
Forces service medal veterans. These classifications are defined as follows:
A “disabled veteran” is one of the following:
o a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or
who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws
administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or
o a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected
disability.
2. A “recently separated veteran” means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date
of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.
3. An “active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran” means a veteran who served on active duty in the
U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a
campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.
4. An “Armed forces service medal veteran” means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S.
military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an
Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.
1.
Protected veterans may have additional rights under USERRA—the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act. In particular, if you were absent from employment in order to perform service in the
uniformed service, you may be entitled to be reemployed by your employer in the position you would have
obtained with reasonable certainty if not for the absence due to service. For more information, call the U.S.
Department of Labor's Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), toll-free, at 1-866-4-USA-DOL.
If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed above, please indicate by
checking the appropriate box below. As a Government contractor subject to VEVRAA, we request this
information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake
pursuant to VEVRAA.
